Sacred Number by Miranda Lundy

Why is five associated with life? How come circles are so sixish? What has eleven got to do with the mile? This little book delves into the secret qualities of quantities and is essential reading for philosophers, mathemagicians, and wizards of all ages. With a detailed page-by-page examination of the numbers from 0 to 12, it also examines gnomons, cosmic numbers, magic squares, and the numerology of games. With extensive appendices, this is a timeless gem for people of all professions and ages.

Miranda Lundy is a freelance artist and designer based in Penzance, Cornwall. She became a road protester and an ardent animal rights campaigner after completing an MA in traditional arts at the Royal College of Art in London. She began walking great distances after a few run-ins with the cops, and she is currently trekking across South America in pursuit of a book about pyramids.
